Reasons: I've watched this person raise from position for the past hour, and in the showdown end up showing hands like 9/6 off or j/5 off.
If you thought your opponent was stealing, you should have reraised preflop.
As it stands now, he's likely to play ATC's, so it is VERY likely that rag board has hit him somehow and he is crushing your Ace high... FOLD
well if he is raising with hands like that then he prolly paired on the turn or hit his 6 or 8 on the flop and wanted to make sure u didnt have the J. i'd more than likely let this hand go and try to bust him when i actually have a hand that will beat him... what did u end up doing?
I'm thinking he paired one of his rags, too. There are better places to take a stab against the opponent's loose play than this hand.
(1) the UTG player made the raise if i read it right
(2)you are going to be out of position with a weak ace
with that being said maybe you had a read on the guy and felt like defending the sb. He check the turn instead of continuation bet maybe he spiked trips and is trying to get value out of it, or maybe he raised preflop with AK or AQ could even be an underpair to the jack like 9s or 10s in any case you are not in good shape the best case for you is he has 9s or worse so you would have at least 2 live cards.
AT THIS POINT I THINK YOU HAVE TO LET IT GO
